Reintroduce a full bus service for HD8

Tigerbus has recently drastically reduced the bus service to the communities of Kirkburton; Highburton; Skelmanthorpe; Shelley; Clayton West; and Denby Dale. Evening services are now an hourly 'Sunday' service, which is inadequate to the needs of those communities. The reduction has had severe implications for commuters, the elderly and students (including Shelley College).

HD8 is a growing thriving community and deserves to be served by the same level of service that other areas of Huddersfield receive (of similar populations). The reduction of service was very quietly introduced and is having a big impact on the people of HD8 who rely on public transport.

I call for the reintroduction of a full bus service that adequately serves the communities and businesses of HD8.
